The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Idowu Owohunwa, has clarified that there is no evidence connecting Nigerian singer Naira Marley and his friend, Sam Larry, to the tragic death of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
During a press conference, Commissioner Owohunwa revealed that thorough investigations have established that both Naira Marley and Sam Larry were not in Nigeria at the time of Mohbad's unfortunate demise.
However, the Commissioner did disclose another significant detail. It appears that Sam Larry, a friend of Naira Marley, was involved in physical altercations with Mohbad before the singer's death.
According to Owohunwa, Sam Larry confessed to confronting Mohbad over a dispute involving a significant sum of N2 million. This money was allegedly received by Mohbad for his mother's burial expenses, but he failed to fulfill his performance commitment during the event.
In the Commissioner's words: "There is evidence that Naira Marley and Sam Larry have nothing to do with Mohbad's death. Documentary evidence shows that both Naira Marley and Sam Larry were not in the country during the singer's death. However, there is electronic evidence that Sam Larry bullied the singer, and he admitted to physically assisting Mohbad over the two million naira the singer collected for his mother's burial but failed to perform during the event."
